Just did a run to Toowoomba; fairly sure the new tyres are quieter and smoother ride (just subjective of course).Can you notice a difference? Quieter? I guess new tires always feel different though.

Wouldnt clear the rotorsI wonder if anyone has ever tried to fit 17" wheels on a Model S.
Imagine the ride smoothness...mmmmm
It would be close. You couldn't tell until you actually tried to fit them physically trial and error.
These are 19"
I have heard that the factory 19" michelins are $650 each from tesla. Has anyone had experience with the 19's?
For 4 x TIRE MICHELIN PRIMACY3 SUMMER P245/45/R19 (sic) Tesla quoted $2,747.96.I have heard that the factory 19" michelins are $650 each from tesla. Has anyone had experience with the 19's?
I hazard a guess the quote is for Michelin Pilot Sport 3 that was fitted to the original Australia Dual motor vehicles, Michelin Primacy 3 has a slightly different speed rating and can be purchased for under $350 F and B.
Just looked. It's a current rear drive and has Pimacy3 - tesla aren't charging $350 - more like $650, and an extra $60 for fitting (one tire). I thought tesla doesn't mark up parts that way?
Are you trying to get a new set or just a spare/replacement?
I've been throught this and Primacy 3 is rated at 300km/h and much more expensive than the Primacy 3 ST at 270km/h. Tesla have the Primacy 3 ST too and will quote you much less for it !Just looked.

From my reading, the 3 ST is a quieter (and better) tyre than the 3.I've been throught this and Primacy 3 is rated at 300km/h and much more expensive than the Primacy 3 ST at 270km/h. Tesla have the Primacy 3 ST too and will quote you much less for it !
I like the sound of that for my next tyres, but can you tell me exactly which tyres you got?Just got a set of Michelin Primacy 3 fitted after 50,000+km on the Goodyear Eagle RSA's. Loving them so far - like floating on air but glued to the road even in the wet!
As long as the wear live is there I'll be a happy camper!
Same as what I got from JAX for $1360. Most impressed.LOL!!!
I had exactly the same thoughts!
The Eagle RSA are 98V (750kg @ 240km/hr)
98Y (750kg @ 300km/hr)
102Y (850kg @ 300km/hr)
So either is above what came with Sparky.
I just asked for Primacy 3 & ended up with Primacy3 ST 102W.
